Vick Ready to Fake It Off the Field Too

"Nobody was tougher on Michael Vick than we were," said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States. "I did not imagine 23 months ago that I would be sitting opposite from Michael Vick and contemplating the idea of him joining our campaign against dogfighting."

Disgraced former NFL football quarterback Vick, who served 23 months for his involvement in a dogfighting conspiracy, is now released from the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas and is serving two months of home confinement in Virginia. Vick's sentence ends on July 20, 2009.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that Vick's only possible path back to playing in the NFL is by showing sincere remorse.

Vick's participation in HSUS's anti-cruelty campaign would probably involve public service announcements, participating in youth programs and the like.

"There are no successful dog fighters; it is a dead-end activity," Pacelle said. "More than anybody, Vick can tell the story about how it set him back in his life in a very dramatic way."
